>Great job! You're providing inspiration for me; I'm facing 4 drawers with the same feature- poplar sides & walnut fronts. I'm hoping I'll finish these tables in time to call them Christmas presents for two of my sons.

>greg, sounds like your drawers are going to look GREAT! don't forget to MARK them carefully to orient the tops and outsides, ok? i thought it was just for wussies, but then i wound up cutting the tails in different directions!
